One of Them

My bestest buddy is writing a werewolf book (which is pretty awesome and not cliche by the way) and I was inspired by it to write this poem.  Dedicating it to her for that very reason!  Hope you like it Berdine! :D

Look to your left

Look to your right

A feeling overwhelms you

Of painful fright

All you can see

Beyond the hills

Are bloodied bodies

Of the people you've killed

One moment your a soldier

Fighting in the war

Next second your out

Cold on the floor

Hours later

You can tell from the moon

You wake up to this

This scene of gloom

You feel confused

Your stomach is cramped

You thought you were dreaming

You thought you were camped

But there's blood on your chin

Under your nails

And all over your skin

Like in folk tales

It hits you again

The realization

It really was you

Who slayed the battalion

You scream at the sky

In hopes of response

But you hear nothing

It's you that they taunt

The urge to run

Rushes through

The night is calling

And it's calling for you

You feel something pop

Bend and twist

Reeling over with pain

You cringe with a hiss

Your hearing increases

Your face starts to crack

You glance towards the forest

What was calling you was your pack

The feeling of freedom

And just sheer power

Overwhelms your senses

And your height towers

In just a few moments

You are reborn

Now you're the monster

That all beings scorn

You howl at the moon

Kill all of the hunt

You and your pack

Every day of the month

Only after

Years of killing

Did you become

Not so willing

You tried to run

From your pack

After several tries

You made it back

You thought to yourself

Once you had room to breath

You can check out any time you like

But you can never leave
